containing hardcore porn, is he now allowed to do so?

Publishers also have the right not to publish his advertisement. FCC rules also apply to over-the-air broadcasts (though not to candidates' official advertisments, iterestingly.)

We have one senatorial candidate here calling another one a homosexual child molester in his radio ads.
The stations are required to run them, and to run them as-is.
